Suzuki Violin method

Group classes on Saturdays  10:30-11 a.m.

The Suzuki Method is an approach of learning music intended for young children to get exposed to music early on, similar to how children learn their native language at an early age. Some core aspects to the Suzuki Method are:

• An early start (generally beginning lessons at the ages of 3-6
• Exposure and listening to music
• Learning to play before learning to read
• The involvement of the parent
• A nurturing and positive learning environment
• Social interaction with other children: Suzuki students from all over the world can communicate through the language of music

By having a group class, students start to grow an enjoyment of learning music as a collective. Students develop new found social skills like working as a team as well as achieving shared goals of the group. In this class, Book 1 of the Suzuki Method is covered. The Suzuki group classes go over fundamentals such as violin anatomy, violin care, and proper posture to start young students off with a healthy understanding of the violin. As well as fundamentals, students learn to use their aural skills to learn new music as well as begin to hear pitch accuracy from their instrument. 

The Suzuki method is a well-known method of musical learning because of the benefits it offers to young students. This method has the potential to promote positive development in a child in various ways.

• Develop fine-motor muscle skills
• Strengthens cognitive function
• Creates strong aural skills
• Promotes strong memory 
• Strong academic performance
